Anonymous Launches Largest Attack Ever Following Megaupload Closure

A expected, within minutes of Megaupload being shut down by US authorities and the owner Kim Dotcom along with others being arrested there has been huge outrage.

Anonymous launched their attack on multiple sites that were responsible for the shutdown, and made very short work of it. Currently the following sites have been hit hard by massive DDoS attacks, using LOIC (“Low Orbit Ion Cannon”) to collectively attack multiple sites at once via the Hive mind which overloads the server, effectively shutting it down for the duration at the event. LOIC was designed as a stress testing tool to test load levels on servers.
